2Project operation occurred intermittently from 

2009 to 2013. Both projects are currently offline and 

have not operated since June 2013 (see Battenkill 

Hydro’s letter filed November 7, 2022). 

n. Project Descriptions: The Upper 

Greenwich Project consists of the 

following existing facilities: (1) an 11.5- 

foot-high, 203-foot-long concrete gravity 

spillway dam topped with 2-foot-high 

flashboards; (2) a reservoir with a 

normal water surface area of 20 acres 

and a gross storage capacity of 70 acrefeet at a normal water surface elevation 

of 334 feet mean sea level (MSL); (3) two 

12-foot by 7.5-foot intake gates; (4) a 

200-foot-long, 40-foot-wide, and 10-foothigh earthen power canal; (5) 60-footwide, 11-foot-high, 1-inch clear trash 

racks angled at 45 degrees to the flow 

and toward a 3-foot-wide fish passage 

sluice; (6) a 53-foot-long, 14-foot-wide, 

concrete and steel powerhouse 

containing two turbine-generator units 

with a rated capacity of 300 kilowatts 

(kW) each for a total installed capacity 

of 600 kW; (7) a tailrace channel; (8) a 

150-foot-long transmission line; and (9) 

appurtenant facilities. 

The Middle Greenwich Project 

consists of the following existing 

facilities: (1) a 10-foot-high, 235-footlong concrete gravity spillway dam; (2) 

a 9-acre reservoir with a gross storage 

capacity of 80 acre-feet at a normal 

water surface elevation of 318 feet MSL; 

(3) a 150-foot-long, 20-foot-wide, and 

10-foot-high power canal; (4) 24-footwide, 11-foot-high, 1-inch clear trash 

racks angled at 45 degrees to the flow 

and toward a 2.5-foot-wide fish passage 

sluice; (5) a 15-foot-long by 19.5-footwide concrete and steel powerhouse 

containing one turbine-generator unit 

with a capacity of 300 kW; (6) a tailrace 

channel; (7) a 150-foot-long 

transmission line; and (8) appurtenant 

facilities. 

The Upper and Middle Greenwich 

projects are operated in a run-of-river 

mode and release a minimum flow to 

the bypassed reach of 80 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) and 20 cfs, respectively, or 

inflow, whichever is less.2 A 20-cfs 

attraction flow is conveyed through the 

fish passage sluice to the bypassed reach 

at each project. Battenkill Hydro is not 

proposing any new project facilities or 

changes to the operation of either 

project. 

From 1999 to 2009, average annual 

generation at the Upper and Middle 

Greenwich projects was 146 kilowatthours (kWh) and 78 kWh, respectively.
